November 8, 201213 yr Author comment_507505 varying opinions about this show it would seem! a lot of the negatives are true but it still is fun to watch and see the grand designs that they build! i do wonder what care goe into the fish after atm leave! Report
November 8, 201213 yr comment_507535 a lot of the negatives are true How would you come to that conclusion? Most people making the negative comments would not have a clue and likely killed many fish themselves. Tanked is made for TV viewing otherwise the general public would not watch it, so Most of the tank set ups are planned months in advance and you don't see really how long it actual has taken to set these tanks up . Some of these tanks have massive water volume with little fish so cycling these tanks will not be an issue. In general taking fish from the reefs could be seen as not the right thing to do as many fish are killed, but we still have fish tanks. i would say most of the tanks would have someone doing the maintenance as they are not budget tanks where cash is not a problem.

November 8, 201213 yr comment_507547 The "Fish Tank Kings" is sooooo much Better! It much more informative and not so dramatised. I hate Tanked, its soo stupid :smln: . Report
November 8, 201213 yr comment_507551 The "Fish Tank Kings" is sooooo much Better! depends what you like, some say Tanked is much better. one shoe does not fit all. Report
November 8, 201213 yr comment_507553 they are both quite fun shows to watch. there are some real characters in the fish keeping world. the crew from tanked have superb on screen presence. a lot of it is scripted but i still lol'd. i think .. actually i know that people who are not into fishkeeping would enjoy watching this show. fish tank kings is almost identical in concept. just with a different chemistry among the characters. seems to be more serious, more drama, more subtle comedy. i like how they are always rolling their eyes at the fish geek :roll: best thing about these two shows is that they help promote the hobby."any publicity..."

November 9, 201213 yr comment_507572 The tanked guys have a nationwide aftercare business also. It was in one of the early episodes. Report
November 9, 201213 yr comment_507599 episode 5 of fish tank kings mentioned there after instal maintance program as well. all I hear is we will build and sell you this and because you can't maintain is correctly for what ever reason we will charge you more to do so . $$$$$ to much drama in both, not enough technicaly stuff or looking at fish/reefs/ geograpical background etc Report
November 9, 201213 yr comment_507644 They go overboard with their filtration etc on these tanks and they all hate using living plants / corals because it adds to the maintenance. One ep of Fish Tank Kings, the boss is trying to tell Francis (fish geek) to steer the client away from live corals in his tank and just go for the inserts. They also often refer to customers as long time customers, meaning they probably gave them a tank a while back and regularly go in to maintain it for them. Can't imagine too many customers ordering super expensive custom built tanks on a regular basis. Report

Episode 5, first time they have done any fresh water tanks and they went with Malawis :happy2: They go overboard with their filtration :dunno: you can go over board on filtration? Report

November 9, 201213 yr comment_507685 anyone else think that skateboarding on top of fish is kinda cruel??? I'm with you on that one - I'm not sure what they wanted to achieve with that but I bet it lost them a lot of fish fans Report
November 11, 201213 yr comment_507964 How do you go overboard on filtration. What I mean is they put filtration / skimming systems etc in that are rated to handle much larger systems, meaning it's more forgiving when maintenance isn't done as regularly. Report
November 11, 201213 yr comment_507967 do you not do them same with your filtration systems on your tanks? Report
November 11, 201213 yr comment_507968 i'd say the over zeal on filtration is due to the fact most clients in these shows are loaded. with money as no object i'm sure we would all over filter our tanks... Report
